Answer:

ones: 0

tenths: 9

thousandths: 3

Explanation:

Because 0 is at the beginning of the whole "part" of the number, it is a "one" in place value (confusing right??) for example, in the number 54,743, 3 would be the digit in the ones place.

Because 9 is one decimal place across the example number, it is a tenth - because you would need 10 lots of 0.1 in order to make a whole number.

Because 3 is three decimal places across the example number, it is a thousandth - because you would need 1000 lots of 0.001 to make a whole number.

A good way of remembering these decimal place values is by using the number of zeros after 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, and so on (one zero is a ten-th, two zeros is a hundred-th, etc, etc.)
